Hi,

I noticed that kern.maxproc was different than i expected.
Same goes for maxusers. It seems FreeBSD sizes these values according to
your system? I couldnt find any info upon this, whether this is happening
and how and on bases upon what it sizes these sysctl's.
Can anybody give me more info on this?
Bye,

Mipam.
